Donovan Whycliffe Bromwell, [1] known mononymously as Whycliffe, is an English R&B singer from Nottingham. [2]
Whycliffe was born into a Pentecostal family and sang in the choir as a child. [3] After sending a demo tape to local label Submission Records, [2] he attracted label attention, eventually signing with MCA Records. [3] He released two albums for MCA and had three singles in the UK Singles Chart - "Lovespeakup" (1990) at No. 97, "Heaven" (1993) at No. 56, and "One More Time" (1994) at No. 72. [4] He worked with the producers Tim Simenon, CJ Mackintosh, and Chris Porter. [3] He dated Dannii Minogue in 1994. [1] After being dropped from MCA, Whycliffe left the public eye, and in 2005, a Nottingham publication reported that he "sings for a quid in the city centre and lives in a sheltered housing complex."
